Out of the three books in this series...I guess this one might be the best? I don't know how I feel after reading all these books. They weren't nearly as sexual as everyone made them sound which, I think, was the reason I wanted to try to read them. Every girl has an inner freak side.
Anyway, Grey softened way up and I think lost his edge that I initially liked. Plus the whole second half of the book SCREAMED Twilight minus freak baby. Instant turn-off. It was hard to finish as it lost its appeal. It was decent but not what I was hoping for in the last book. The epilogue was nice though. I liked having Grey's point of view for once as Anastasia was getting really aggravating.

THANK GOD I'M DONE. Okay guys so I read a lot of shitty series? And one of the ways I do it is compartmentalize, like when I read a new volume of Black Bird I read it in complete isolation from the rest of the series so I can be like 'awww they're in love' as opposed to 'oh dear she's in Stockholm'. I usually only have to do that between books though! Fifty Shades Freed I was straight up forgetting the pages as I read them. Like what happened at the beginning of this book? All I've got is a blur of two incredibly awful people having sex as a way to ignore their relationship problems. Legit the only thing I could tell you is that the sex scenes decreased in frequency towards the end of the novel so I liked it slightly better. It's the difference between I hate this to the power of a million and one versus I hate this to the power of a million so I wouldn't take it as a recommendation. 1 star

WOW. This really is the icing to the cake (if you know what I mean). This 3rd installment was way, way, waaaaaaaaay better than the other two. It still had (A LOT OF) those not-for-teens scenes, but the plot is amazing (for me)! I was quite pissed at the first two books because I found the main character (Christian Grey) quite UNUSUAL. But, in this book, I guarantee you ALL the answers as to why he WAS ('cause he'll change here, I swear) like that. I found the trilogy worthwhile reading. The start (of the trilogy) was mysterious and intriguing, the middle a roller coaster ride, the climax a hair-raising thriller, and the ending? A FIREWORK DISPLAY. Well, there goes my review. Hope you agree with it too ;)
